Provision of applied first aid, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation or expired air
resuscitation
Towing damaged vessels back to shore or launching ramp
Re-supplying water or fuel to stranded vessels

What does it mean to volunteer?



 

The Group is grateful to Lotterywest for providing grant funding, allowing
Marine Rescue Geraldton to purchased additional Radio over Internet Protocol
(RoIP) software and hardware to enable more Radio Operators to work from home. 
During the COVID19 lockdown all radio communications had to be done from home. 
These Radio Operations provide coverage for recreational mariners, thus keeping
them safe on the water and in turn saving lives.
